# 文獻回顧
任務是尋找、篩選、綜合並引用一批學術或技術文獻時,使用這個 skill。
## 何時使用
- 建立系統性、範圍性或敘述性的文獻回顧。
- 綜合某個研究問題的現況(state of the art)。
- 找出缺口、矛盾或未來研究方向。
- 為論文或報告準備有引用佐證的背景段落。
- 比較同儕審查論文、預印本、專利和技術報告之間的證據。
## 回顧類型
- **敘述性回顧**:廣泛的綜合整理,適合用來建立方向感。
- **範圍性回顧**:描繪概念、方法和證據缺口。
- **系統性回顧**:預先定義的流程、可重現的搜尋、明確的篩選與排除。
- **統合分析(meta-analysis)**:系統性回顧,再加上效果量的量化彙整。
問使用者需要哪種嚴謹程度。沒指定的話,探索性工作預設用範圍性回顧,要發表或做臨床主張就用系統性回顧。
## 工作流程
### 1. 定義問題
把提示轉成可以搜尋的研究問題。
臨床或生物醫學工作用 PICO:
- Population(族群)
- Intervention or exposure(介入或暴露)
- Comparator(對照)
- Outcome(結果)
技術工作則用:
- 系統或領域
- 方法或介入
- 比較基準
- 評估指標
### 2. 規劃搜尋
蒐集來源之前,先建立搜尋流程:
- 要搜尋的資料庫
- 日期範圍
- 語言
- 出版類型
- 納入條件
- 排除條件
- 精確的搜尋字串
最少需要的實用資料庫組合:
- PubMed:生物醫學與生命科學文獻。
- arXiv:CS、數學、物理、量化生物學和預印本。
- Semantic Scholar 或 Crossref:廣泛的學術探索。
- 相關時再加領域專屬來源,例如臨床試驗登記、專利資料庫、標準機構或官方技術文件。
### 3. 搜尋並記錄證據
維護一份搜尋紀錄,讓回顧可以重現:
```markdown
| Database | Date searched | Query | Filters | Results | Export |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| PubMed | 2026-05-11 | `("CRISPR"[tiab] OR "Cas9"[tiab]) AND "sickle cell"[tiab]` | 2020:2026, English | 86 | PMID list |
| arXiv | 2026-05-11 | `CRISPR sickle cell gene editing` | q-bio, 2020:2026 | 9 | BibTeX |
```
原始的 ID、URL、DOI、摘要和筆記,要跟最後的文字分開存放。
### 4. 去重
依這個順序去重:
1. DOI
2. PMID 或 arXiv ID
3. 完全相同的標題
4. 標準化後的標題加第一作者和年份
記錄移除了多少重複。
### 5. 篩選來源
分階段篩選:
1. 標題
2. 摘要
3. 全文
做系統性工作時,要記錄排除原因:
- 族群不對
- 介入不對
- 結果不對
- 不是原始研究
- 重複
- 取不到全文
- 超出日期範圍
### 6. 擷取資料
用結構化的擷取表:
```markdown
| Study | Design | Population/Data | Method | Comparator | Outcome | Key finding | Limitations |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Author Year | RCT/cohort/review/etc. | sample or corpus | method | baseline | measured outcome | result | caveat |
```
技術論文要包含資料集、benchmark、指標、baseline 和可重現性備註。
### 7. 綜合整理
依主題歸納證據,不要一篇一篇摘要論文。
好用的綜合視角:
- 最強的證據
- 互相衝突的證據
- 方法上的弱點
- 族群或資料集的限制
- 時效與重複驗證
- 實務上的意涵
- 尚未回答的問題
依信心程度區分主張:
- **高信心**:跨來源重複驗證過的高品質證據。
- **中信心**:合理,但受限於樣本、方法或時效。
- **低信心**:早期、推測性、單一來源,或衡量薄弱。
### 8. 驗證引用
定稿之前:
- 驗證 DOI、PMID、arXiv ID 或官方 URL
- 檢查作者姓名和出版年份
- 不要為一篇論文沒有提出的主張引用它
- 預印本要標示為預印本
- 區分回顧文獻和原始證據

## 常見陷阱
- 不要把搜尋結果的摘要片段當成證據。
- 不要把預印本、回顧文獻和原始研究混在一起卻不標示。
- 不要漏掉負面或互相衝突的發現。
- 沒有可重現的流程,就不要宣稱有系統性回顧的嚴謹度。
- 除非範圍明確限定在那個資料庫,否則不要只用單一資料庫就下廣泛的結論。英文原文

# Literature Review
Use this skill when the task is to find, screen, synthesize, and cite a body of
academic or technical literature.
## When to Use
- Building a systematic, scoping, or narrative literature review.
- Synthesizing the state of the art for a research question.
- Finding gaps, contradictions, or future-work directions.
- Preparing citation-backed background sections for papers or reports.
- Comparing evidence across peer-reviewed papers, preprints, patents, and
technical reports.
## Review Types
- **Narrative review**: broad synthesis; useful for orientation.
- **Scoping review**: maps concepts, methods, and evidence gaps.
- **Systematic review**: predefined protocol, reproducible search, explicit
screening and exclusion.
- **Meta-analysis**: systematic review plus quantitative effect aggregation.
Ask the user which level of rigor is needed. If unspecified, default to a
scoping review for exploratory work and a systematic review for publication or
clinical claims.
## Workflow
### 1. Define the Question
Convert the prompt into a searchable research question.
For clinical or biomedical work, use PICO:
- Population
- Intervention or exposure
- Comparator
- Outcome
For technical work, use:
- system or domain
- method or intervention
- comparison baseline
- evaluation metric
### 2. Plan the Search
Create a search protocol before collecting sources:
- databases to search
- date range
- languages
- publication types
- inclusion criteria
- exclusion criteria
- exact search strings
Minimum useful database set:
- PubMed for biomedical and life-sciences literature.
- arXiv for CS, math, physics, quantitative biology, and preprints.
- Semantic Scholar or Crossref for broad academic discovery.
- Domain-specific sources when relevant, such as clinical-trial registries,
patent databases, standards bodies, or official technical docs.
### 3. Search and Log Evidence
Keep a search log that makes the review reproducible:
```markdown
| Database | Date searched | Query | Filters | Results | Export |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| PubMed | 2026-05-11 | `("CRISPR"[tiab] OR "Cas9"[tiab]) AND "sickle cell"[tiab]` | 2020:2026, English | 86 | PMID list |
| arXiv | 2026-05-11 | `CRISPR sickle cell gene editing` | q-bio, 2020:2026 | 9 | BibTeX |
```
Save raw IDs, URLs, DOIs, abstracts, and notes separately from the final prose.
### 4. Deduplicate
Deduplicate in this order:
1. DOI
2. PMID or arXiv ID
3. exact title
4. normalized title plus first author and year
Record how many duplicates were removed.
### 5. Screen Sources
Screen in stages:
1. title
2. abstract
3. full text
For systematic work, record exclusion reasons:
- wrong population
- wrong intervention
- wrong outcome
- not primary research
- duplicate
- unavailable full text
- outside date range
### 6. Extract Data
Use a structured extraction table:
```markdown
| Study | Design | Population/Data | Method | Comparator | Outcome | Key finding | Limitations |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Author Year | RCT/cohort/review/etc. | sample or corpus | method | baseline | measured outcome | result | caveat |
```
For technical papers, include dataset, benchmark, metric, baseline, and
reproducibility notes.
### 7. Synthesize
Group evidence by theme rather than summarizing papers one by one.
Useful synthesis lenses:
- strongest evidence
- conflicting evidence
- methodological weaknesses
- population or dataset limits
- recency and replication
- practical implications
- unanswered questions
Separate claims by confidence:
- **High confidence**: replicated, high-quality evidence across sources.
- **Medium confidence**: plausible but limited by sample, method, or recency.
- **Low confidence**: early, speculative, single-source, or weakly measured.
### 8. Verify Citations
Before finalizing:
- verify DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, or official URL
- check author names and publication year
- do not cite a paper for a claim it does not make
- mark preprints as preprints
- distinguish reviews from primary evidence
## Output Template

```
## Pitfalls
- Do not treat search snippets as evidence.
- Do not mix preprints, reviews, and primary studies without labeling them.
- Do not omit negative or conflicting findings.
- Do not claim systematic-review rigor without a reproducible protocol.
- Do not use a single database for a broad claim unless the scope is explicitly
limited to that database.
